Oil cooler turbo question
I am going to running an oil cooler on my car this year. Now my question is that would it be a good idea to run my turbo feed line off of the return side (colder side) of the cooler? This was my plan from the start but because in my eyes I will have oil going into my turbo at a lower temp thus cooling my turbo down. Now on the other hand my buddy is saying that will sludge up my turbo? Any thought on this? Is he full of crap?

ask yourself this question...
how would oil on the cooling side of the turbo sludge up your turbo any more or less than the other side of the cooler? the cooler acts just like a radiator.. hot oil through one side, runs through the 'radiator' cooler out the other side..
why would you be running your turbo feed off the cooler anyway and not off of a sandwich plate on the filter?
